Description
I've been doing some scouting of my own and think our best option is to sign Tyler Myers and Panarin. Saad can hold down the 3rd line with AA. Toews, Kane and Panarin will be a stacked first line and keep the 2nd line of Debrincat Strome and Kahun.

Bring everyone except Kampf back on 1 year prove it deals. Forsling isn't worth keeping around and neither is Koekoek. Sikura, Perlini, and Hillman have until the Trade Dealine to prove or they're gone.

If Joki and Mitchell aren't out there opening night, I'm gonna be angry. They're amazing. I'm OK I guess with letting Boqvist have another year in the O. What do you guys think about Boqvist as a forward though? Also, is it realistic to think that we can pay Seattle to take Seabs in a few years? And does Gustafsson have a future here? So many What ifs with this team. I feel like it is silly to sign guys only to trade them in a year or two with guys like Beaudin, Mitchell, Joki, Boqvist, Kurashev, Kubalik, Wise, Baratt, Entwistle, and Hagel coming up. Out of that bunch, who is on the ice for opening night?

Check out the "Scratched Players" box. Of those guys, who makes the team Opening Night? For me, if I was in charge, it would be Kurashev, Kubalik, Baratt, and Mitchell. Krys will be the first injury call up, along with Entwistle and Hagel for the forwards.

To pre-empt the idiots (because you didn't make it 100% clear in your Team Description): Yes, you're over by $6M, but with 30 players, so removing 7 players gets you back under the limit.

Panarin and Myers would be superlative pickups for you guys. (Hate it!)

My only other comment is that I assume you're just trading Forsling and Koekkuk somewhere, because Anaheim neither wants nor needs either. Plus, I think you meant your defense pairs to be Keith-Myers, Jokiharju-Seabrook and Gustafsson-Murphy.

Myers is not a fit for this team. Hawks have good young D prospects coming up soon. Also Myers is not worth that money but some team will pay it.

Myers would be pretty silly to sign for 3 years.

Also is there a reason you described the lineup then didn't set it up and left 30 players on the team?

Also you said who you want your top 3 lines to be then said you want your top prospect on the team. So you want him on the fourth line?

Also of you spend all of your cap this year how do you plan to pay Strome, Debrincat, and Gustavsson next year? Crawford comes off the cap but if you replace him with a starting caliber goalie it's unlikely you save more than a few mil

Panarin and Myers are bad signings. Both are way too expensive for what we can afford over the next few years, and can easily be replaced in that time frame.

They will not switch Boqvist to forward. It takes significant time and effort to do so, and could very easily stunt his development. Terrible idea.

If I were to guess, I would say that Anisimov, Gustafsson, and one of Perlini/Kahun are gone by the deadline of next year, especially if we aren't contending for a playoff spot. Anisimov isn't the shutdown, faceoff winning 3C we need, and Gus is easily replaced by Mitchell and then Boqvist in the long term. Perlini and Kahun play similar roles, and there isn't enough space on the roster for both.

As for prospects, I would say it is likely that only Jokiharju and Kubalik start the year on the NHL roster next year, with the only other possibility being Entwistle. Management probably wants to keep guys like Krys, Mitchell, Hagel and Kurahsev on track with their development, which, for most NHLers, means at least the better part of a year in the AHL. It is also looking more and more likely that Barratt will return to Penn State for his junior year as well. I would guess that the opening night roster looks something like this, though I hope they add a free agent or two like Dzingel or Tanev:

Caggiula - Toews - Kane
DeBrincat - Strome - Perlini
Saad - New 3C - Kahun
Kubalik - Kampf - Hayden

Keith - Jokiharju
New Top4D - Murphy
Gus - Seabrook

I agree with someone will over pay for Myers and it will $7.5M - $8.5M
